Central Lakeshore Conference


The Central Lakeshore Conference is a former high school athletic conference in east central Wisconsin. It was operational from 1969 to 2015 and all member schools were members of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

History

The Central Lakeshore Conference was formed in 1969 by seven small high schools in Sheboygan and Ozaukee Counties in east central Wisconsin. Four members were previously in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference, two entered from the disbanded Kettle Moraine Conference and Random Lake joined after leaving the Scenic Moraine Conference. The recently opened John F. Kennedy Prep in St. Nazianz joined a year later, but their stay in the conference was short-lived. The Catholic high school was removed from the Central Lakeshore Conference in 1973 because of alleged violations against rules on student transfers. The Central Lakeshore Conference's membership roster would remain relatively stable for a quarter century with the only change being a short stint in the conference for Stockbridge from 1979 to 1981. Oakfield joined as a football-only member from 1987 through the 1998 season after competing in the Flyway Conference, which remained their primary affiliation for all other sports. In 1999, two private high schools in Sheboygan would join as part of the WIAA/WISAA merger. Stockbridge rejoined the Central Lakeshore in 2007 for the final eight years of the conference's run. In 2015, all members of the Central Lakeshore Conference with the exception of Stockbridge joined with five members of the Olympian Conference to form the fourteen-member Big East Conference.
